Not sure,need help!

Post by DOG »

I just develop this problem. Keep your eye on the servo arms. I didn't move anything but the throttle lever. The first throttle up is in normal mode and the second throttle up is stunt 1. Any Idea will be appreciated. https://youtu.be/pfC1Pm10pZQ I've changed servos and checked for bad wire.

I didn't use the double sided tape on the Gyro, could that cause the problem?

If you didnt use foam tape yes possibly. The foam tape will isolate most vibes from the gyro.

I really didn't think of that. I used one sided pad that is about 1/8" thick. Tha't all I had. I better get my butt to wally world for some 3M double sided tape I guess. Any thick double sided tape should work?

Hi Dog...yes, on any model, you want to use a foam tape to help rid the vibrations. This is what I've used for the past several years:

http://www.walmart.com/ip/3M-414-Extrem ... h/21179197

It's very strong and it's just awesome stuff. I usually have two or three rolls of this stuff "on hand" for the rc's and various other uses around the house.

No manual mixing set in the radio there?
No pre-comp gone wild in the fbl either?

Thanks Derek! :) Now I know what to look for when I go to Walmart instead of looking like I'm lost like everyone else. :lol:

Neither one their Marius. I realized that ever since I used a different pad that the heli started acting up. The AR7200BX/AR7300BX never gave me no beef before. I'll diffidently change pad and see what happens. Thanks! :)

Not sure why it's doing that.. Could be vibs or precomps.. Check TX settings as well.

With the neo I use 3M grey, 2 pieces. With the two flights I had it seems to work.

I used to swear by zeal tape it's a gel that the FC sits on, it's not very sticky so I would secure it with a cable tie.

I don't usually give references to other forums but I think everyone loves Heli-Freak. DOG, you may be interested in reading about the "Milton Mod." Check this out here:

http://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=282042

It's a very simple and effective way to secure your flight controller and isolate vibes. This "mod" was referred to me, a couple of years ago, and I've been using it ever since.

It's cool, buddy! Everyone that I've talked to, in the past, about the Milton Mod has talked highly about it. I've not heard anyone say that their heli didn't benefit from it. I've done it to my heli's and I'll continue to do so in the future.

Two 3M tape options I've used:
http://www.amazon.com/3M-Heavy-Mounting ... 00HD29S42/
http://www.amazon.com/Scotch-Heavy-Duty ... 00004Z4BU/

4910 is "VHB" or very high bond tape. Good stuff. Seen it shipped from OEMs for FBL mounting tape/pad before. 4010 is heavy duty and is good too. Cheaper option as well.

In either case clean the two surfaces with alcohol before applying.

Thank you everyone for you advice! I couldn't believe that the wrong pad makes a difference but after purchasing 3m tape from Walmart, my helis are happy again! :lol: Ready to fly again. :D
